Miklós Gábor Dietz

Senior PartnerVancouver

Helps financial services companies and other organizations harness digital technology and stay ahead of emerging trends

Miklós is the managing partner of our Vancouver office. He also leads the Strategy & Corporate Finance group within the global Financial Services Practice.

Since joining McKinsey’s Budapest office in 2001, Miklós has led more than 300 engagements for both private- and public-sector organizations across 40 countries. In his current consulting work, he focuses on helping leaders unlock the potential of digital technology. He has advised large financial institutions on digital transformation programs, from overall program design and managing cultural shifts to strategic and tactical prioritization. And he has also supported the government and central bank of an Asian country in developing a next-generation financial infrastructure and digital banking strategy.

To further our capacity to support executive decision-making, Miklós oversees Panorama, a McKinsey-created application that mines a blend of banking and financial data sources—including proprietary data—to provide wide-ranging insights into emerging strategic opportunities and sources of performance improvement. As the leader of the Panorama team, he has participated in strategy development for several of the world’s largest banks and financial regulators.

Miklós writes for the McKinsey Quarterly and other publications on a range of banking topics—most recently on financial technology innovation and the role of start-ups in the banking ecosystem. He has also published extensively on developments in the global banking landscape. 

Miklós is a certified financial analyst, a member of the CFA Institute, and a founding member of the Hungarian Society of Investment Professionals. He was awarded the Knights Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary in 2008 for supporting the government during the global financial crisis.
